I'm not sure about the crop on this on either, but overall I don't think that's the central problem. regardless of whatever elements it seems you want to relieve the scene of on the left and right, this image ultimately fails on two levels I think.
one: focus. yes most of it is in focus, but because you used f/5.6 you cannot get everything from front to back in sharp focus. the front edge of the stone retining wall is slightly fuzzy, and thus the viewer loses some detail tha provides a little interest.
two: light. the quality of the light here is very flat. taking this shot at sunrise or sunset would provide a wonderful quality of light, and add much more color to a kind of drab composition.
another suggestion, find a step ladder and take the picture again. yes, you will look like a freak, but that's not the point. this will enable you to see more of the center part of the stream. without being able to see the whole scene, that's the best I can give.

I like the leading lines in this one. I like the way you first look at the bridge and then your eye moves throughout the photo. You did a great job on this one.

| I'm not a fan of the cropped road on the right of the picture. I feel if it were included, you'd have a nice use of leading lines to the bridge. |
